Other | Pfannstiel Photo: Painting in Japan: Differences between both images: Taking note that the Pfannstiel Photo is a copy in black and white that lost a big percent in quality, probably cut for printing purposes, the main areas of interest would be the blue cushion, the eyes and in general the black lines that seems to move from one to another, here is a more in detail example: Detail of the Cushion in Japan Detail of the Cushion in Pfannstiel What is different: all the lines are moved, not the details, the lines. Detail of the eyes of the model in Japan: Detail of the eyes in Pfannstiel: What is different: all the lines are moved, not the details, the lines. Detail of the lips of the model in Japan: Detail of the lips in Pfannstiel: What is different: all the lines are moved, not the details, the lines. Detail of the signature in Japan: Detail of the signature in Pfannstiel: What is different: all the lines are moved, not the details, the lines, the L is visible, the i and the a, is visible... Therefore are clear things different between the image present in Pfannstiel, Modigliani et son oeuvre, elude critique et catalogue raisonné, 1956 - nº 188, plate 21 and the painting in Japan. Could it be because of cleaning, restoration or a moved image in Pfannstiel, who knows only a real X ray and pigment analysis would tell it for certain. But personally I do not trust none of the 2 explanations (Patani as a forgery or Restellini as original) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nº 244 in D' Atri papers dated 1917, size 62 x 100, titled "Nu couche" - Provenance in Zborowski, 1929> ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detail of signature in visible normal light: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The painting framed in Budapest, Modigliani, Hungarian National Gallery, 2016: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The eyes of this painting reflect a style Modigliani used from the end of 1915 to the first months of 1918, very similar eye construction can be seen in many Modigliani works from this period: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The same sitter can be recognized in other paintings by Modigliani, with an undoubted match: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
